Costessey Park Golf Course

The golf course sits just outside Norwich, a proper 18-hole layout that doesn't pretend to be something it isn't. It's a friendly, straightforward place to play - well-maintained greens, decent challenge without being punishing, and the kind of course where you'll actually finish your round without wanting to throw your clubs in the nearest water hazard.

The setting is genuinely pleasant. Trees line most holes, and there's enough space between fairways that you won't spend the day fishing balls out of adjacent games. It's the sort of track that works for club golfers rather than championship wannabes, which means you can actually enjoy yourself.

Golfers will get the most from this - obvious, really - but it's accessible enough that if you're a decent amateur, you won't feel out of place. Beginners might find it a touch demanding, but nothing catastrophic. Allow three to four hours for a full round, or hit the driving range if you just fancy loosening up.

If you're staying at Moat Island Glamping, it's a manageable drive, making it an easy half-day addition to your Norfolk break without eating up all your time. Check their website for green fees and whether you need to be a member or can play as a visitor - details vary, and it's worth confirming before you head over. Summer weekends get busy, so weekday play is typically more relaxed if your schedule allows.
